Panic gripped parts of the national capital on Tuesday after St. Stephen’s College, a prestigious institution under Delhi University, and St. Thomas School in Dwarka received bomb threats via email, prompting swift emergency response.
According to Delhi Police, the bomb threats were sent through email, triggering the deployment of multiple emergency units, including the Delhi Police Bomb Squad, Dog Squad, Fire Brigade, and Special Staff teams to both locations, as per the news agency ANI.
Authorities promptly evacuated both the school and the college as a precaution. After thorough inspections, officials have confirmed that no suspicious objects have been found at either location so far.
Search operations are currently ongoing at both sites. Authorities are treating the threat seriously and have initiated an investigation to trace the origin of the email. Further details are awaited.
